Language Switcher mess

[a0394]

Hi everyone, while creating a new website i stumbled on a problem i've never encountered before: my language switcher is not working.
Languages are Italian and English; i have set 2 different menus, 2 different default pages (Home ITA and Home ENG), made the association between them... but the language switcher only shows the Italian flag, and, if i click it while being on the /en website, it doesn't take me to the /it.
While on the /it website, the language switcher doesn't even show up.
How can i fix this? I have just a couple days to complete the website lol.

Please Publish the Administrator module Multilingual Status. Once it is published a Text Link with the text "Multilingual Status" will appear on the status bar.

Click on the link "Multilingual Status" and a pop-up window with the status of various multilingual settings would appear. Post a copy of the pop-up window in your reply.

Good... Once you have published the module, in the Left Bottom of your screen you would see a link with the text "Multilingual Status". Click on the link and a popup window with the title "Multilingual Status" would appear. Copy and paste a copy of the pop-up window in your reply.

Hi, from the report everything seems right to me, still the switcher is not behaving correctly!
Please see attached picture.
Thanks,

If you do not mind, you could send me the back-end login credentials of your site. The login user must have Super User privileges.

Alternatively, you could install Akeeba Backup and take a backup of your site. Copy the backup to a place where I can download it from. Send me the link to the file to download. I could review the site on my local machine.

Do you have two different template styles, each style assigned to specific language?

Hi, i do not have 2 different template styles for different languages... Regarding the access, i don't know... Should I?
Thank you for your support!

Hi imanickam, check your pms. THX!

Actually, i cant send pm due to the fact that i'm a new user, so i sent you a email through the forum tool.
Kindly get back to me when you can, thx!

Reviewed your site and following is my feedback:

- Disabled Main Menu module
- Made the menu item Home ENG as the Default menu item -> Now the English Flag shows in the menu item in the column Default
- Moved the category "Various Articles" from the Parent Category "ITA" to the parent category "ENG"

Observation:
- English Category is defined to inherit properties from an Italian category - It would be good to have English categories to inherit properties from an English category`
- There is only one Style of the template style used for all languages - It would be good to have one style per language

- It looks like you are using a Quickstart package to build the site. So, you have to be alert dealing with language assignments

- Also do not test with empty articles - it would be hard to figure out.
